We took our friend here for his birthday. We were a party of 4. The food was delicious, and the service was good. My daughter got the Club Sandwich. She enjoyed it, but she mentioned that the bread wasn't hardly toasted and the mayo came on the sandwich rather than on the side as she ordered it. She loved the sweet potato fries. The other 3 of us ordered the Beef Stroganoff. It was absolutely delicious. The pot roast was so tender and flavorful. My only complaint is that I felt the mushrooms were in too big of pieces. I left most of them. If they were smaller, it would have made it easier to incorporate them in for a better bite. We also got the fried pickles and the Cheese Blanket Nachos. They were both delicious. The fried pickles were some of the best I have ever eaten. My only complaint about them was that the cilantro ranch was way too thin. It had the consistency of water, but I still ate it. We are already planning our next visit.
Second Rusty Bucket location to try out. We were seated quickly, and our server was friendly and professional, a great combo. Fish tacos were very tasty, and the street corn bowl was interestingly spicy. The salmon was perfect prepared. Just a bit noisy but that’s expected. They do a good job with the offerings.
3rd Visit here. Can't brag on this place enough!!! Great food and as always great service. Brooklyn who waited on us this evening was so kind and so knowledgeable, she recommended not only food but also great drink pairings to go with them. Can't wait to go back and will definitely be asking for her again! P.s. it was my first time trying your chicken fingers.....so under hyped
